Marginal Latin annotations provide very short explanations of some poems (e.g., at fol. 65v – next to RVF 132: ‘Scribit hic in amore argume[n]tanto [—]ens’); all these annotations – as in the above example – have been affected by trimming during the re-binding process.
Fol. 1r has an architectural frame; initial in gold for RVF 1; some maniculae.
